Empowering Polk County Youth
The Tractor Supply Company’s 4-H Paper Clover Campaign is a vital initiative that supports youth development across the nation. With 90% of donations remaining in the state where they are raised, the program ensures local impacts, particularly in counties like Polk, Florida. These funds are earmarked specifically for 4-H leadership and camping opportunities, fostering invaluable life skills such as leadership, teamwork, and independence.
The Impact of the 4-H Paper Clover Campaign
Since 2010, Tractor Supply has partnered with the National 4-H Council to raise over $19 million through the biannual Paper Clover Campaigns. These funds provide scholarships for 4-H youth to attend transformative experiences like summer camps, leadership programs, and STEM-focused events. The most recent campaigns set records, with millions raised nationwide to benefit over 80,000 young people annually.
In Polk County, the campaign plays a key role in empowering youth. Donations have funded scholarships for participation in:
- 4-H Summer Camp at Camp Cloverleaf, where attendees explore nature, engage in team-building, and develop practical skills.
- 4-H Legislature, which teaches young participants about government processes and civic engagement.
- The 4-H Fishing Club Overnight Trip, combining education and outdoor adventure in a memorable year-end experience.
These programs not only teach practical skills but also inspire youth to become confident leaders and engaged citizens.
